Piers Morgan had a furious row with Mohammed Shafiq on Good Morning Britain after being accused of using 'inflammatory language'

Shafiq said: "I'm not saying anybody shouldn't be saying what they are saying, but let's just be calmer and look for language that brings people together."

Furious Piers responded: "All I have ever said after the terror attacks is I think it's incumbent on the wider Muslim communities to root out any extremists in their midst.

"This morning, after this attack on Muslims, I've used exactly the same language in exactly the same way to urge the communities housing these white extremists who want to harm Muslims and treat them in exactly the same way. Why do you have a problem with what I've been saying?"

Piers asked for an example of language he has used but Shafiq simply insisted 'we all need to reflect on our language'

He added: "You are a very influential figure within British society and with that influence comes responsibility.

"From the conversation I've been having with young Muslims in this country, they feel commentators should just reflect on their language and I hope you and everybody else takes that in the positive way I am expressing."

Piers demanded Shafiq "stop talking nonsense".

Shafiq later apologised to Piers on Twitter, saying: "For the record I don't hate you, I just think we should all reflect on our language.

"Sorry if it came across badly."
